Finally saw my Lady Lavender in bloom. Before Hurricane Gustav, I had at least 6 buds. Came home, there were none. I finally figured out what happened. Blamed it on Gustav and it was those DARN squirrels doing my vine in as I just about caught them in the act a few days ago when I had buds the second time around. They ate 3 buds and left me 4. How considerate right?

Anyway, I am thrilled I finally got to see a few blooms on my Lady Lavender. Wanted to share them with you!.

The really cool thing about it was I was able to virtually see her open her buds.

I hope so but not sure since after I purchased the red passionflower, I had to trim it back, way back, in order to fit it and entwine it thru my obelisk. Now wondering if I messed up on set blooms. Does anyone know?
